Ha Ha Rogue Yeah I know I did not make this the most fuel efficient I have to say I had missed my 2001 truck that was setup like this one with a 7.3 I never thought it was a good move for ford to stop the 7.3, anyways I rolled the dice on the 6.7 and I have to say it is a step above the 7.3. The power and torque is better from my stock 6.7 than my 7.3 that was chipped, exhuast, cold air instake and and modded turbo. Have 12,000 miles on it now and knock on wood all is good so far.

Well, at least you bypassed the 6 leaker, and the even more dismal 6.4. I have heard the new 6.7's are nice engines, but for the monthly payment of a new rig, i can squirt a lot of fuel through my old (and paid for ) 7.3.

I do like your ride tho.

Rick it's running around $3.30 here.

Since we are showing are rides. Here is my daily driver.

My 2000 F250 7.3L with 6" skyjacker lift, Edge w/Attitude chip.

I get 15 mpg running this in city traffic. probably get more out of it but there is an over abundance of dodge trucks around here that have drivers that just can't learn that they are driving slow pieces of junk..

here is the truck when I got it. I got this truck for a smokin hot deal. ZERO ZIP NAHDA FREE




And here it is now.




And at night with the summer family activity behind it. The trailer with both cars on it weighs 13,000# and I get 14 MPG pulling it.



Notice the mirrors, I like LED's.



-Mike
